Faith Lutheran Church Oakville
Relate: Expectations, Pastor Chris Sommer
Today we begin a new message series titled Relate. During this time of quarantine, as families are spending more time together than ever, you may have found that the good relationships in your life have been made better, and the struggling relationships have struggled more. Let’s talk about how a Christian worldview can change the way we relate to each other.

One Big Bad Expectation
-- We expect people to meet our expectations, which is a bad expectation.
Many Mini Expectations
-- Our expectations are met or not met in the many mini interactions we have each day (a.k.a. "bids").
-- There are three responses to "bids":
1. Turn towards
2. Turn against
3. Turn away
One Gargantuan Great Expectation
-- The one gargantuan great expectation that we can rely on is a covenant (versus a contract).
WAYS TO GIVE
We believe God wants to position Faith to be a generous body of believers able to invest in missional ministry where we live, work, play and beyond; wherever God leads us to bless those who need the Gospel. Faith members and regular attenders are on a journey to discover what it means to move from being blessed to blessing others. We give with gratitude in response to God’s grace and sacrificial love in Jesus, who already has met our deepest needs. He works through the sacrifice and generosity of His people to meet the needs of others and to fuel the mission of His church to make disciples.
